Arrested For Forgery.

Last Thurday morning Deputy Sheriff
Will Hornsby arrested W.Y.Leader,on an in,
dictment presented by the late grand jury
charging him with forgery. The facts on
which the true bill was found, as learned
by The STATESMAN, are that some months
ago Leader presented an order, drawn by
himself in his own favor, for the sum of
$50, and payable in sixty or ninety days,
to one of the city banks, which gave him
the cash for it. On the back of the order
was the following endorsement: "We
guarantee the payment of the within.
Signed, John Hancock, A. j. Jernigan."
The amount was paid in installments, in
fact, overpaid by about 81, but
through mistake the banks
collector, in calling upon Mr.. Jernigan,
to present some other matters handed
him the Leader order. AS soon as he saw
it Mr.. Jernigan endorsed upon it: "This
is fogery SO far as my name is con-
cerned," and appended his signature to 1t.
The matter got before the grand jury,
and an Indictment followed with the re-
suit as stated Judge Walker yesterday
fixed the amount of the bond at $500,
which was given during the day, with Mr..
Ed Christian and DR.. j. Cummings as
sureties.

WHAT EYES ARE SAID TO SHOW.

Generally, speaking, blue eyes signify con-
stancy and devotion to friends.
Black eyes denote as a rule a sensuous
character and an inconstant, tickle disposi-
ton. However, there are some noted excep-
tions to this rule.
The main characteristics OF the violet eve.
which is called the woman's eye, are affec-
tion and purity, chivalric belief and limited
OF deficient intellectually.
Gray eyes are the most expressive of all
eyes and denote strong qualities of mind and
soul. Persons with gray eyes usually have q
great deal of patriotism.
Self satisfaction and conceit are commonly
the characteristic traits represented by the
green eye. When the tinge verges OH yellow
ishness it denotes that the possessor Is gifted
with strong powers Of imagination.
The very light blue eye Is characteristic Of
the northern races and in a woman 1t sug-
gests constancy and truth, steadfas tness, sim
plicity, courage and purpose. In a man it
is apt to denote phlegmatic disposition.
Brown eyes are the eyes of the south and
east and denote as a general rule passion and
lack Of originality. In women they mean
jealousy and cruelty very often, and in men
courage, superstition and mild recklessness
Blue eyes usually go with light hair, but
when they go with dark hair and complexion
there Is coupled with the affectionate quail
ties tendency to deceive, stimulated by an
ambition for conquest and leading TO the
qualification Of admiration.

Reunion of Hoods Brigade.

The city of Austin, having been selected
as the place for holding the annual
reunion of the survivors of the famous
old Hoods Texas brigade, the resident
members have decided to give barbecue
at Barton Springs, on the Goth of next
June. Committees were appointed to ar.
range programme and make prepare
tions for the event. The gallant boys who
followed the fortunes of the stars and
bars and fought under the immortal Lee
and Jackson, made name and fame
that will endure so long as chivalrous
dash and gallant soldierly qualities find
admiration in the human heart. The sur
viving veterans are few in number, and
are now grey haired men, to do honor tC
whom is, as it should be, the delight of 6
grateful people. 1t is not saying toe
much to venture the belief that the citi
zens of Austin will give these old veterans
rousing welcome when they meet here
next month.

Tribute to N. Q. LanVe.

The recent death of Capt. N. o. Lauve,
at Austin, Texas, caused as much sorrow
in the state of his adoption as in 'Louisi-
ana, where he was born and spent his
youth and early manhood. Mr.. Lauve
was born near Bayou Goula, December
"a, 1887. He graduated with honors at
Harvard, and returning to New Orleans
entered commercial life. At the outbreak
of the war he joined the Louisiana Field
artillery, and served gallantly throughout
the struggle, reaching the rank of captain.
In 1865 he married Miss Marie Amelia
Lauve, who with two little SONS survive
him. Twenty years ago he removed to
Texas and entered the insurance business.
His private affairs, however, did not inter
fere with his public duties, and he held
many public trusts in Galveston city and
county, always with signal ability. His
last public service was as chairman of the
board of managers of the Insane asylum,

CURE For PILES

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some af-
fection of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times, symptoms of indigestion
are present, fatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. moisture like perspiIa-
ton, producing very disagreeable itch
ing, after getting warm, is common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application of
DIR. BOsanko's Pile Remedy, which acts d.
rectly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors allying the intense itching
and effecting,a permanent cure. Price so

its labors, SO far as in its judgment the
public good and the ends of justice re-
ouire for this term.
We have carefully examined into all
matters presented for our consideration,
and have returned "true bills" in all cases
where we believed the evidence would JUS
tify conviction.
Much of our time has been consumed in
the investigation of gambling cases. From
the many cases presented for our consid-
Grafton, and from evidence adduced in
connection Herewith, we are led to believe
that the statutes against gambling are
violated in the city of Austin daily, and to
an alarming extent. This is an evil that
should be suppressed, if possible, as its
corrupting influences bring dishonor upon
our sons and wiring tears of agony and
shame from the hearts of our mothers,
wives and daughters. The suppression of
this crime is matter which appeals to
the manhood of every law abiding citizen,
as it must effect the moral status of the
rising generation in this community.
We believe the crime can be suppressed
if the peace officers of the county will
take the matter in hand and make Wig
oLouo Shoio w Wv oOS piio
desire and determine to break it up, the
evil will continue to grow. We do not
believe that the grand jury can suppress
the evil by finding number of "true
bills" against an individual, because
it seldom happens that more
than one conviction is obtained against an
individual; and the fine imposed by the
court is not sufficient to deter the gambler
from continuing his vocation in open
violation of the law.
We have at the request of Hon. j. M.
Breckenridge, county judge, visited and
inspected the Travis county jail, and find
that the sheriff keeps the Jail in as good
condition as possible, considering its sani-
tary facilities, and that the prisoners are
as comfortably situated as they might
reasonably expect.
Respectfully submitted with the reqnes t
that the grand jury be now discharged.
j. w. Biting, Foreman.

Is Your Blood Pure?

For impure blood the best medicine
known, Scovilps Sarsaparilla, or Blood
and Liver Syrup, may be implicitly relied
on when everything else fails. Take it in
the Spring time, especially for the impure
secretions of the blood incident to that
season of the year; and take it at all times
for Cancer, Scrofula, Liver Complaints,
Weakness, Boils, Tumors, Swellings Skin
Diseases, Malaria, and the thousand ills
that come from impure blood. To en-
sure cheerful disposition take this we'll
known medicine, which will remove the
prime cause, and restore the mind to its
natural equilibrium.

purpose of touching this train, but from
